Another travesty!

"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress in a letter Thursday that the USPS aims to eliminate 10,000 jobs using a voluntary early retirement program over the next 30 days to reduce costs at the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service."

Millions of Americans depend on the USPS for access to critical information, benefits & life-saving medical care...

In Musk’s mind, DC needed to be debugged, hard-forked, sunset. His strike teams of young engineers would burrow into the govt’s byzantine bureaucratic systems & delete what they saw fit -help Trump slash the budget to the bone. He turned to those around the table: Can you believe we were spending taxpayer💰on condoms? They shook their heads. #Musk looked back at his phone. What if we cut all fed grants to NGOs?

"Per person familiar, "reduction in force" notices for the Education Department are expected to go out today at 6pm.

Nearly half of the department is expected to be🚨eliminated.

This obviously comes as Education Department staffers have been told to vacate the premises by 6pm today, and that offices will be closed tomorrow."

#Trump’s #DOJ ousts #NationalSecurity ofcls in latest #purge

The #Justice Dept has removed top national security ofcls as part of a widespread purge of snr career leaders across the agency.

Since Musk’s #DOGE took over important govt tech teams within the GSA & USDS, ~200 technologists have either resigned or been fired, jeopardizing about a decade’s worth of work dedicated to everything from public health to passport apps.

The culling of the GSA’s 18F division has crippled programs that silently but effectively prepared Americans for weather disasters or streamlined annoying errands, like renewing...

"TSY Sec Bessent says the American dream🚨is not about ‘access to cheap goods’"

Wealthy businessmen, like #Trump, #Musk, Bessent, Lutnick (all worth at least $500M)... are out of touch with working ppl.

It's a travesty that they're dictating policy, making is difficult for Americans to make ends meet, & with the recent #firings of fed govt WKRs, & many who's jobs depend on them for their livelihoods -to buy food, & not become homeless.

The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by #ElonMusk to help him slash the size of the federal government under #Trump’s admin were political ideologues who did not have the necessary skills or experience for the task ahead of them.

The mass #resignation of #engineers, #DataScientists & #ProductManagers is a temporary setback for #Musk & the Republican president’s tech-driven #purge of the federal workforce.

The plan is the latest in a series of changes at the top US #markets regulator since #Republicans took the helm at the commission & is part of a broader effort by Republican President Donald #Trump, alongside *special* adviser & #billionaire #ElonMusk, to #purge the federal workforce.

Trump and Musk’s Lawless Power Grab Is Scrambling the Legal Resistance

"Having loyalist #lawyers in place will make it much harder for #military officers to resist Trump’s orders. #Hegseth has been critical of military lawyers constraining officers in the field. In practical terms, this might result in a legal blessing and greater practice of what is commonly regarded as #WarCrimes. Hegseth’s selection for Sect of #Defense came after he lobbied #Trump to pardon convicted #WarCriminals."

Text from article: The other three who were removed were lawyers, the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Why them? They are not involved in any conflicts. Why are they as important as the Joints Chief of Staff? The answer is that this is part of a broader pattern where Trump has been targeting General Counsels and other lawyers across government. It has long been part of his second-term strategy for governing. Having loyalist lawyers in place will make it much harder for military officers to resist Trump’s orders. Hegseth has been critical of military lawyers constraining officers in the field. In practical terms, this might result in a legal blessing and greater practice of what is commonly regarded as war crimes. Hegseth’s selection for Secretary of Defense came after he lobbied Trump to pardon convicted war criminals. Now it is simply less likely they would be prosecuted. Military loyalist lawyers can also greenlight the use of military as a domestic police force, by invoking the Insurrection Act. Authoritarians focus on controlling the bureaucracy, but especially the legal system and national security system. Whatever else Hegseth says about readiness or DEI, Trump’s military purges are about control. This may be only the start of a series of actions to build an American military centered on loyalty to Trump.
